What has 'Cognitive Liberty' ever done for us?
A recent email from British colleague John Allman, titled
"What has 'Cognitive Liberty' ever done for us?"
... which was sent to you, prompted me to visit your web site. I have to echo John's question. Especially when I read your history and mission statements on your site's cover page, which are excerpted here:
"The CCLE is dedicated to protecting and advancing freedom of thought in the modern world of accelerating neurotechnologies. Our paramount concern is to foster the unlimited potential of the human mind and to protect freedom of thought."
"Our mission is to develop public polices that will preserve and enhance freedom of thought into the 21st Century."
For more than a decade, people who have been targeted by (at first) experimental electronic technology which can do extremely invasive and debilitating things to the mind (and body) of the target, have been contacting, as a group, every agency with a name suggesting the agency might help in the fight to expose and stop this illegal use.
At every turn, every government agency, every scientific agency, every scholarly group, every social service agency, every church organization has consistently refused to even HEAR about "neurotechnologies" which have existed for some time and are capable, in criminal hands, of totally destroying the lives of targets. And doing so silently and deniably. Here are three such technologies which should be "household names" to all members of your group by now, the end of 2004:
- Joseph Sharp's voice to skull success, performed with Dr. James C. Lin's transmitter, and announced in 1974
http://www.raven1.net/v2succes.htm
http://www.raven1.net/hypno2s.gif
- Lowery's silent sound, patent 5,159,703 and used for self-help subliminal hypnosis tapes and CDs and by the U.S. Army in Gulf War One (1991).
Together with Sharp's voice to skull, Silent Sound can hypnotize a target in their bed with the target being unaware Unaware hypnosis is CLEARLY thought disruption in the EXTREME!
http://www.raven1.net/silsoun2.htm
- the Russian LIDA machine, an old medical device, a pulsed radio transmitter which can be used to make a target exhausted on the job, and with a pulse rate increase, deprive a target of sleep http://www.raven1.net/lida.htm
(Available in the 1950s)
And one device which makes aiming these silent devices through walls easy:
- through clothing (and through non-conductive wall) radar, widely used at airports and by police to look through clothing for hidden weapons
http://www.raven1.net/seethru.jpg
(Available at airports and to anyone with the money)
* So given your own mission statement, I have to ask, isn't it time you included at least those old and proven technologies in your purview, and help with the fight to educate the public that such technologies exist and need to be placed under transparent, public control?
* If you intend to exclude such technologies, may I ask you why they are not of concern to your organization? Some groups say "That's not part of our mandate." If you write back and say that, may I ask why your mandate shouldn't be expanded a very little bit to include invasive neurotechnologies?

Spies to get hi-tech boost

Spies to get hi-tech boost
Chris Jenkins
December 13, 2004
AUSTRALIA'S spies are to have their intelligence gathering capacity boosted by a new highly classified IT and communications project being run by the Defence Signals Directorate.
Under the heading of "Information Technology Broadcasting and Telecommunications, the Defence Signals Directorate (DSD) has revealed some details of the signals intelligence (SIGINT) project, which includes database and storage, real time processing and intriguingly, a variety of radio interface technologies.
"Ultimately, work to be performed will be highly classified," Defence documents say.
Since the advent of the so-called "war on terror" in the wake on the terrorist attacks on the US in September 2001, improved capability in intelligence gathering has become a priority for the Federal Government.
The Defence Signals Directorate (DSD) has evolved to become the government's peak IT security advisor, while at the same time maintaining its traditional role in intelligence gathering and secure communications.
In the last federal Budget, Defence alone was allocated $54.5 million to boost its counter-terrorist capabilites, through improved analysis and signals intelligence. Australian-based spy agency ASIO received a $127 million boost over four years, while offshore intelligence organisation ASIS was given $45.6 million.
A request for tender issued to industry by Defence breaks the new project into two categories. The first encompasses the design, implementation and support of object oriented databases, with related standards including C++, Java and J2ee, Oracle, Cobra and Unix.
The first category also includes "near real-time processing, large data stores, and GUI or web-based presentation systems", the request for tender says.
The second radio interface category of work calls for HF, VHF and UHF radio systems, with digital signal processing and direction finding. The radio portion of the project also involves "software design and development (C++, Java/J2EE, COBRA) associated with systems management, signals and protocol processing and analysis".
The classified nature of the work means that all companies and their staff engaged in the project will be extensively vetted by DSD.
"Companies will be subject to further evaluation through the opportunity to deliver against minor to medium projects from DSD's development program," tender documents say.
Despite the extensive restrictions and caveats on the project though, a successful bid would open the door to a long term relationship with Defence's intelligence gathering operations.
"DSD is seeking to establish a strategic working relationship (necessitating the establishment of cleared and accredited facilities and information systems) with a limited number of industry organisations for the provision of ... development services over the coming decade," the request for tender says.

Gait advances in emerging biometrics
http://www.theregister.co.uk/2004/12/14/alt_biometrics/
Retinal scans, finger printing or facial recognition get most of the publicity but researchers across the world are quietly labouring away at alternative types of biometrics.
Recognition by the way someone walk (their gait), the shape of their ears, the rhythm they make when they tap and the involuntary response of ears to sounds all have the potential to raise the stock of biometric techniques.
According to Professor Mark Nixon, of the Image Speech and Recognition Research Group at the University of Southampton, each has unique advantages which makes them worth exploring.

Delgado perfected a device whereby he could talk into a cat's ear in one room, and hear it on a radio in the other room.

The Perils Of Electropollution
CROSS CURRENTS: The Perils Of Electropollution
by Dr. Robert O. Becker
ISBN 0-87477-609-0
APPENDIX
page 297
THE HIDDEN HAND ON THE SWITCH: MILITARY USES OF THE ELECTROMAGNETIC SPECTRUM
Highlights:
("C3I (for command, control, communications, and intelligence).
Our total military system has become as analog of a living organism, constantly sensing its environment, integrating information, and reaching decisions, and then acting on those decisions by using the appropriate weapons systems.
Vietnam was the proving ground for the basic concepts of C3I, ....
The military organism was designed on the 10 mW standard and, once in place, it had to be defended against the possibility of nonthermal bioeffects. The recognition and validation of these effects would mean the collapse of the total organism and the death of C3I. .... ... evidence for nonthermal effects was viewed as a threat to national security.
Control over the scientific establishment was maintained by allocating research funds in such a way as to ensure that only 'approved' projects -- that is projects that would not challenge the thermal-effect standard -- would be undertaken. .... In some instances, scientists were told that nonthermal effects did occur, but that national security objectives required that they be exceptionally well established before they became public knowledge.
All of these reports shared certain characteristics. Scientific data indicating nonthermal bioeffects were either ignored or subjected to extensive and destructive review. .... ... while a statement such as 'There is no evidence for any effects of pulsed magnetic fields on humans' would have been literally true, it would have ignored the many reports of such effects on laboratory animals and the fact that no actual tests had been conducted on humans.
Scientists who persisted in publicly raising the issue of harmful effects from any portion of the electromagnetic spectrum were discredited, and their research grants were taken away.
Deployment of powerful and exotic electromagnetic systems continues, with little, if any, consideration given to the potential impact of these systems on the health and safety of the public.
THE GROUND-WAVE EMERGENCY NETWORK (GWEN)
GWEN is a communications system currently under construction that operates in the very low frequency (VLF) range, with transmissions between 150 and 175 kHz. This VLF range ... signals travel by ... ground waves -- electromagnetic fields that hug the ground ... a single GWEN station transmits to a 360-degree circle radiating out ... about 250 to 300 miles. .... The stations are spaced from 200 to 250 miles apart ... signals ... from coast to coast .... When the system is completed in the early 1990s, the entire civilian population of the United States will be exposed to the GWEN transmissions.
ELECTROMAGNETIC PULSE (EMP)
... the EMP phenomenon. An electromagnetic pulse is a very short, intense burst of electromagnetic energy ....
GWEN is a superb system, in combination with cyclotron resonance, for producing behavioral alterations in the civilian population.
The EMP concept .... A derivative of this program is HPM (high-power pulsed microwave), .... Several types, ranging in frequency from 1,200 MHz to 35 GHz with powers up to 1000 megawatts, are being tested.
A recent report derived from the testing program of the Microwave Research Department at the Walter Reed Army Institute of Research states, 'Microwave energy in the range of 1 to 5 GHz, a militarily important range, penetrates all organ systems of the body and thus puts all organ systems at risk.'
'Microwave pulses appear to couple to the central nervous system and produce stimulation similar to electrical stimulation unrelated to heat.' It appears that HPM is capable of altering behavior in the same fashion as Delgado's electrical stimulation.
The production of cognitive and behavioral alterations by HPM is a sledgehammer effect in comparison to the subtle alterations produced by ELF fields. According to a 1982 air force review of biotechnology, ELF has a number of potential military uses, including 'dealing with terrorist groups, crowd control, controlling breaches in security at military installations, and antipersonnel techniques in tactical warfare.' The same report states, '[Electromagnetic] systems would be used to produce mild to severe physiological disruption or perceptual distortion or disorientation. They are silent, and countermeasures to them may be difficult to develop.'
It would appear that the military may yet be able to completely control the minds of the civilian population. .... In my opinion, the military establishment sill believes that the survival of the military organism is worth the sacrifice of the lives and health of large segments of the American population.")
The capacity to use electromagnetic fields to target and manipulate the minds of individuals, cannot be expressed more plainly than in the above last couple of paragraphs.
In my opinion.
